should print -0x0.p+0, but instead prints 0x0.p+0.
Clearly, it's using a "<0" test for the sign, when it should be using 
signbit(). Also applies to the %A option. The %f, %e, and %g formats 
work correctly.
This is actually a DMC library bug, so it applies in many places.
DMD 0.145 Windows. Probably doesn't occur with GDC.
(I don't think this really belongs in DStress, since it's a DMC bug, not 
a D bug).
